Pleasanton, CA, Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
Contra Costa County DMV Hearings
The consequences of conviction for a drunk driving offense in Contra Costa County can be severe, particularly for second-time offenders. There are many attorneys in the Pleasantville area who handle DUI/DWI cases, but few offer the legal experience you will find at the Law Office of Blackie Burak.
California DUI lawyer with 35 years of DUI defense experience
Many criminal defense attorneys routinely recommend that their clients plead guilty or accept plea bargains. I am not afraid of going to court to fight a drunk-driving charge. I have handled hundreds of DUI and DWI jury trials and I successfully defended the first .08 trial in Solano County. I was called by Ed Kuwatch, author of California Drunk Driving Law, one of the best DUI lawyers in northern California.

Have an attorney handle your DMV hearing
It is extremely important to file a request for a DMV administrative hearing within a short time after your arrest. Failure to request a DMV hearing may mean your drivers' license will be suspended for months longer than necessary. As an experienced DUI lawyer, I know who to talk to, where to go and what to do to get you on the road again as quickly as possible.
BAC tests in Contra Costa County, California
Refusing a BAC test in California will usually result in drivers' license revocation or suspension. Do you know whether you should request a blood or a breath test ? The answer is complicated and depends on a number of factors, including the time between your last drink and your traffic stop. Whichever test you take, it is important to have an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer interpret the results for the jury, explaining that the BAC measurement is not always accurate.
